Let’s start by saying that I am a quiet on most social situations. When you don’t talk much people make assumptions of you and treat you based on their assumptions. These assumptions could be negative or positive, and the ones who made them seem to believe this to be a part of you although you know that it is not true (although I do not know what is true either).
How affected are you by these assumptions? Regardless of the type of assumption (+ve or -ve), I would embody these assumptions and adjust how I act as such towards the person or group of people who made the assumption. It might be because I do not want to disappoint their beliefs?
There are several implications of this that I can think of. First, it leads to having different personas to different people. Second, depending on the type of assumption, I usually start to believe that I am a bad person, a worthless person, or a fake person. Spend some time away alone and I go back to being myself and the cycle happens...
Just wondering if this makes sense to anyone?
